Leads: Zoey

Zen said, "Alright here we are, I still feel bad about needing to take these clothes from someones line to fit in." He looked down at himself dressed much more like a human then an Atlantean.

"Let's find that book and get my granddaughter home."

Zoey smiled at her grandfather and nodded.  "You look good, Grandpa."

"I hope the Professor is here.  Im not sure how to go about getting access to the restricted section.  Or if it's even there."

The college looks different some of the newer buildings are not there.
Still Zoey is able to find the library and it looks amazingly like it usually does including a rare books section locked away.

The librarian a middle aged man with brown and silver tinged hair walks over, "May I help you ?"

Zoey turned to the librarian, "I was looking for someone, actually.  Jeremy Terrance.  I was hoping to catch him here, unless you might know where I can find him?"  She glanced towards the locked section.

Zen says, "Yes he is a colleague of mine and I would like to discuss some research with him."

The librarian rubs his chin, "I see, well I can send someone to see if he is free."

He sends one of the students with a message to deliver to Jeremy.

"Thank you."

Zoey took a seat at a nearby table and waited, occasionally glancing at the restricted section and shaking her head.

Zen sits across from her, "What is wrong, are you upset Zoey ?"

She lowered her voice to keep the conversation between them. "Jeremy is my best friend's dad.  I cant tell him how I know him without risking screwing the future up.  And not to mention I really need to get into that section of the library, I know that book has to be in there.  Or there's something else that can help.  I've read some of them before, you know while putting things away for the Professor.  Im sure there is something in there that can help, but how do I convince him to let us in there?"

Zen nods and looks to think about that.

"Then leave the talking to me, perhaps I could persuade him."

Zoey sees a young Jeremy Terrence enter and look around he looks confused but starts to head there way.

"Alright." Zoey looks up and sees Jeremy, nods "Here he comes now."

Zen stood and extended his hand, "Professor Terrance, my apologies showing up out of the blue. I wanted to discuss something with you, if you will."

Jeremy looked at Zen dubiously but shook his hand.
"What is this about, they said a colleague was here, but I don't know you."

Zen nodded, "Indeed, though I believe we could become colleagues perhaps even friends. One of your books was dangerous and seems to have effected my family. This young woman knows the book. If you would for the sake of my family please let us see that book so that maybe we can set things right."

Jeremy looks to Zoey, "I can't allow the book out of my supervision, I could let you see if you can find it. Point it out to me and I will bring it out here."

Jeremy only lets Zoey in, "Alright young lady, what's all this about ?"

Zoey starts scanning the books for the one they were reading in the pool area at the school, and tells him the name of the book if she remembers it "We were reading it, well my friend found something in it that he thought I would be interested in, and I took it from him to read it."

She looked at Jeremy a moment before continuing her search for the book.  "I saw an image as I was reading, people in a beautiful place, happy.  You see, I've been looking for my family for a while now, and when I said I would love to go to that place, well I did.  I don't know why though, it sent me back in time.  Way too far.  I need to get home, Professor."

He blinks in surprise, "Do you have some proof you are from the future ?"

She nibbled her bottom lip a moment in thought, then smiled.  "I could tell you what is in a few of these books.  I've read some of them.  Or did you have a different ide?"

He looks truly shocked and tests her knowledge.

After Zoey is able to talk about some of the books he nods, "Alright, I must trust you if you have read these in the future. Though your so young, and a girl."

He shakes his head.

Zoey finally spots the book Rory had.

She blinked in slight shock, "A girl?  What's that supposed to mean?"

Spotting the book she nearly jumped in excitement and pointed, "That's it!  That one, Jeremy. Thank you."

"Well these books are usually for dusty old men like myself. The future must indeed be different." He pulls out the book and once again it seems to react to Zoey.

He brings the book out and locks up the rare books section.

Setting it down for Zen to see, "So this isn't some curse that I am aware of." says Jeremy.

Zen nods, "Still it means a great deal to me, please."

Jeremy looks to Zoey, "Can you fix things, now that you have the book ?"

"I don't know, honestly.  I hope so though."  Zoey flips though the book to the passage about Poseidon and Atlantis.  She looks to Zen, "Do you see anything?  Is it reacting to you too? Just curious."

"Before, I saw a glow and the image.  Im hoping the guys are trying to figure something out too.  They had the book last."

Zen nods and Zoey sees once again the image of Atlantis glowing and spiraling before her.

Zen hugged Zoey, "If your about to dissapear I wanted to hug my granddaughter one last time."

Zoey returned the hug and held back the tears, "Thank you Grandpa.  Tell my dad I'll miss him, and that I love him."

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly before turning back to the book, unsure what to do next.  "It was dumb luck last time.  I don't know what to do now.  Do I ask it to send me back to 2016?"

There is a bright flash...
